I disagree. The convention is still not passed. We'd just need to be exceedingly careful in how he's replaced.
Need name recognition, with the younger crowd I can only think of Sanders and AOC (too young) but neither have that with the older groups
Actually AOC will turn 35 before inauguration day so she's not too young. Unless you mean too young to win.
Then she could run but I don’t think enough people over 50 know/support her
AOC is unfortunately way too divisive to win, IMO
People are literally begging to repeat 1968 and it's blowing my mind.
People are literally begging to repeat 2016 and it's blowing my mind.
I love both of them, but Sanders is too old. He may be sharper than Biden, but he's a year older; we can't ask Biden to step down because of his age and then replace him with someone older. AOC would be my choice for President, but I'm willing to bet too much of middle America thinks she's a communist or Antifa or some stupid bullshit to vote for her.
At this point, it would be safest to just replace him with some middle-of-the-road centrist and hope for the best. Newsom would probably be fine, and even Kamala Harris' polling numbers are looking halfway viable now. But Biden is done, they need to accept that and move on.
